I'm steamed, and I'm not broccoli

Last week my co-worker asked me a question. He said, "What are you going to do when you give up your healthy lifestyle?" I didn't think about it too much at the time. Then I started thinking about what he really said. Then I got mad. He is assuming that I will gain back all the weight I've lost and go back to eating garbage and sitting on my patootie all day. To him, it is a foregone conclusion that I will fail. In the past, I have lost weight, and regained it all plus more. But I know in my heart, mind, and soul, that my reasons for losing this time are different. I know how to lose weight, and finally, I have a plan for how to maintain the weight loss. I believe I can do it!! I know I can keep it off!!

This is war. If he thinks six months from now he'll be saying I told you so, he's got another thing coming. I'm not a fool. I'm not weak. I will do this great and wonderful thing for my body and my spirit. We all can do it. I'd just like to send a big "high five" to all you out there. Go team 3FatChicks. Yeah!! Get that weight off and keep it off.

I know I don't know you, but I'm proud of you. It's so easy to allow comments from inconsiderate people to get you down, but you've already proven you're a stronger person by not allowing it to. Good for you! Keep up the good work. Great job on your weight loss so far! Can't wait 'til I'm there.
